“I chose the viola because it has a beautiful sound,” says Isaac, age 9. He affectionately calls his viola “Sir Robert” for reasons only known to himself. His favorite songs that he has learned at Harmony Project are ‘Autumn’, ‘Carol of the Bells’ and ‘King Williams March’ because they have “beautiful notes.” Isaac wants to be a nurse when he grows up, just like his sister, but for now he says, “My favorite thing is playing music!”

We’re spotlighting children as they grow up in Harmony Project, from age 6 through high school graduation, as a special ‪#‎GivingTuesday‬ feature.
